Old rehearsal has now spread sleek like a rained carhood

Old rehearsal has now spread sleek like a rained carhood The
eye of deliberation twitches like from the house Am now I less
animal? Stuttering of non -
Same fear spotted like the neck of a giraffe
Plaincolor blues and whitepinks come to find me
Lonesome in clothing but pretty will solve it
A way to allow a wrong watch in the flow
Am hooded and in there I party from time
My people beside me and some I do glow
But vast and by large is I can't reassure
when I say that I long to conquer the world
Or assure for the first that I ever will know

A good poem does visit
On when the does well
It is that I relax on occasion
From my mazely to and someone's sighing hat There is
something orbing as my, in my body's hosts

Once it was an aching, a smile weighed my chest
Once it was a worry and I knew it with my palm Once
it was a certainty that lovlied on my tongue Once it
was a power and I hug you with my arms Now I am a
nerving and a queller under nightime Soon I'll stay
forever and to clarify my scheme
Once the water dries and I'm the only one to lean it
